Repeals the firearms law enacted in 2024 in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts H2618 repeals the firearms law enacted in 2024, which the bill describes as misguided, unnecessary, and largely unconstitutional. The law in question is Chapter 135 of the Acts of 2024. The bill was introduced by Representative John Gaskey and co-petitioned by Steven George Xiarhos. The repeal aims to remove the provisions of the 2024 firearms law from the state's legal framework.
